Tigers VS Warriors...............

The game that I wanted to be the grand final is now being played this week in the semi finals of the NRL. The NRL finals series kicked off last week with the qualifying rounds with the West Tigers beating the Dragons in a spectacular encounter winning the match 21-12. The Warriors came up against the high flying Broncos. Sadly the Warriors were pummeled by the Broncos with the score ending up being 10-40. It was not an impressive start to the finals series, in fact that could have been the end of their campaign if other results were different!

In this collision of these two teams we find one team who are on a high after recording yet another win which made it nine consecutive vicotrys. While the other team are looking to get back on track after a heavy lost. Both teams have teams have players capable of winning the game just like that. With the Tigers being known for their offensive style of play spreading the ball from one end to another. While the Warriors have forwards who are capable of offloading the ball to create breaks and trys for their outside backs. And their outside backs are more then capable of creating havoc with the ball, trust me!

I want both teams to do well in this game but my heart is with the Tigers, but honestly I woudn't mind which team wins this game because I like both of these teams very much. Look for Benji to bring out the bag of tricks in this game as he will do everything and anything he can to get his team that one step closer to that premiership title. Also look out for the like of Shaun Johnson, James Maloney, Feleti Mateo and the big man himself Manu Vatuvei. All are very dangerous with the ball in hand.

This is sure to be a battle for the ages. COME ON TIGERS!

Hot Tip: Krisnan Inu is back in the line up for the Warriors this week with Joel Moon Out being injured.)

Tigers Back On Track While Crushing Warriors

West Tigers starting a thrilling week of NRL won against the Warriors 50-6 WHAT A SCORE!!! In the beginning it was a bit nervous watching the Warriors play, They had won two games against the messy Cowboys, And against the in form Rabbitohs. The thought of the Warriors winning against the Rabbitohs and the Tigers just coming back from one victory really occurred to me that this would be a game to remember!

Even though in did not turn out the way I thought it would it was still a game to remember with the Tigers razzling the dazzle winning by quite a good margin.

New coming centre Geoff Daniela had a spectacular game scoring three entertaining tries while having a blister of a game.

Hope that the Tigers will make it three in a row against the Bulldogs GO THE TIGERS!!!!!

We are the CHAMPIONS of the WORLD!!

Can you believe that we just won the WORLD cup title (Trophy) We have made history. It is the first time that the MIGHTY Kiwis won against Australia in a world cup (Kangaroos) and it is the first time that the kiwis have won ever in the history of World Cup Rugby League. In fact the Rugby League world cup began in 1954 but the Rugby Union World Cup only began in 1987 (When The All Blacks Won!!) Sometimes in the game I just couldn’t describe how the Kiwis played through out the game. It was a very good competitive first half because it was a very tight score. My most favourite try was when Billy Slater was about to be pushed out to the out line by the BEAST (Manu Vatuvei) and Billy Slater chucked the ball in just in time before he went out and chucked it right in to the hands of the one and only Benji Marshall who ran to the score line with a smile on his face. Every one was raising their hands and screaming with joy with their hands in the air. I think that Nathan Cayless made the most metres for the Kiwis. The score was 34-20 what a good score for the Kiwis to win against Australia in the world cup final. The prize giving at the end was cool because I liked it when the Kiwis walked on the stage to get their medals. THE MIGHTY KIWIS HAVE ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!
